WEATHER53

Thanks to all of you for the pictures including your families!

The correct term is corn dust and I*n and I started talking about it over 10 years ago. It was perfectly represented on the 2nd event with a perfect circle of no snow around DC Beltway that took 2-3 hours to fill in while snowing in every other direction

Got a text around 1 from reliable in Frederick said 45mph gusts

There are well hidden slick spots out there

Finished shoveling and it’s tricky because the slight slush film leftover refreezes in all shady spots. Unless it dries out by dark there will be some tricky and disguised icy spots.

Cold ground saved total snow/ice destruction. Still have just under an inch and 95% coverage 37F

7pm obs light everything mixture including freezing rain . 27F 2.75” before changeover

6pm obs snow and sleet. 2.75”, temp up to 26. what time is colder air to move back in?

The yellow is not sleet, it’s heavy snow. The green is sleet.

5pm obs 1.8” accum. Moderate-heavy snow, 0.75ph, 24F

Yess asswipes laugh at it and now apologize as ground reports confirm snow

Yes 1994. Some areas never got a flake just instant sleet

Early reports indicate yellow is heavy snow

Watch it close please and inform if you see that non NW motion taking shape

Winds generally n-ne last 6 hours so more north than east is helping

That’s an explicit idea and although I was rebuked about where the main center of circulation is, it seems like you concur? When NWS was jumping all over the place late this morning they had DcA mixing by now then reverted back to snowfall slightly past dark. We are losing the high pressure support but the low well may end up east of here and not over or west. 1994 had one like this but the snow only lasted 30 minutes then low 20’s freezing rain. Right now low would have to head NW to end up west of DC. Memories of that kind of move from on the coast are very rare.

4pm obs Light-moderate snow, 0.5”ph rate, 1” accum. Down to 23.5

Can you give me a rundown on Parrs Ridge and where it runs from? Thanks

Well I guess it comes down to what can be seen with the eye versus graphic analysis

Bob is that sleet or heavier snow? Thanks

Satellite looks like center of circulation is on coast. We don’t warm up usually when it’s there.

3pm obs light-moderate snow, 0.5”ph rate, 0.5” accumulation, temp down 1.5F to 24.

My lowest is 28.17 March 93

First flakes 1:35pm 25.5F

16 with 2 dewpoints . gonna be real different watching the low bust into this very cold near 0 dewpoint air.
